A Look at our "It's a New Year" auction event...

Our New Year auction will feature a seldom-seen one-owner collection (90 examples) of original WWII posters, 100’s of original Antique maps (dating 1690's to 1860's), and rare books... This is the largest public auction of this type to be held in the tri-State area in many years...
